Where they get in around Heron Lake
Most of Heron Lake went up before 1950, and houses of that age share the same weak points. A The water line where it comes through the foundation wall. B A porch or a step that has settled away from the house. C The sill plate where old framing meets stone or block.
Those openings are small, which is why they get missed: a mouse needs about a quarter of an inch, and an ant needs far less. An inspection starts there rather than at the baseboards, because spraying where you saw it does nothing about the way in.
What to say when you call
- →What it looked like and which room it was in. A trail on a counter and one insect in a bathroom are different problems.
- →When it started, and whether it is getting worse.
- →What the ground around the house looks like — mulch, firewood, an irrigation line that runs wet. That is where the outside inspection starts.
- →The address, so it reaches a technician working Jackson County.

What happens after the call
You say what you have seen and where in the home it turned up. That is usually enough to narrow it down on the phone.
A technician then inspects the property — inside, around the outside, and in the crawl space or attic where the sign usually starts. Identification comes before treatment, and the treatment is quoted before it begins.
